Hi everybody, I'm talking about this flute: https://www.prowinds.com/merchantmanager/product_info.php?products_id=118
The problem is that I don't know if the flute has a solid 24 gold lip plate, or if the lip plate is gold plated. Thanks

As indicated at the manufacturer's website, this is an instrument all made of silver, except for the silver plated mechanism.
So, as this 24K gold feature was added, you should make contact with the shop to you make it clear.

LPGP should give you a clue

Lip Plate Gold Plate...

Pearl is the only manufacturer that uses a solid 10K gold lip plate on certain models in this category. On any Pearl Coda model, if you see gold, it's real gold! Everyone else's are just gold plated..
